5 most common species:
Swertia bimaculata
Annual swertia
The height of the stem is 50 to 90 cm and it stands upright and branches. The cross-section is quadrangular with four ridges. Root leaves are large oval with several veins parallel to long petiole and they die in the flowering season. The foliage is oval (oval or lanceolate), 5 to 12 cm long and has a wedge-shaped base with a sharp tip. Branches grow from the sides of the leaves and sparsely add white (yellowish white) flowers with a flower pattern of 1 to 5 cm in length to the conical inflorescences. The corolla is deeply split into 4-5 parts and joined at the base, resembling a petal flower. The fissure has two 1.5 mm-diameter yellow-green nectar grooves with no hair-like assembly. There are many dark green spots on the fissure. The flowering time is during fall. The bud also divides into 4-5 parts, deeply, and the fragment is a wide-spread needle shape and shorter than the corolla fragment. The fruit is an amber fruit that splits a little longer than the corolla, giving a black-brown seed with fine granular protrusions on the surface of about 1 mm in length.
Swertia perennis
Felwort
Felwort is a beautiful mountain herb that prefers the moist, well-drained soil of sub-alpine meadows. This wildflower blooms in the late summer to early autumn. Felwort is noted for its star-shaped flowers that grow in a cluster atop each stem.
Swertia pseudochinensis
Swertia pseudochinensis
Swertia pseudochinensis is characterized by its vibrant clusters of star-shaped, bluish-purple flowers, which notably have fringed petals. Each bloom tops a sturdy, upright stem, surrounded by lance-shaped leaves that reflect its resilience in rocky or alpine habitats. This hardy perennial employs its bright flowers to attract pollinators, crucial for its survival in sparse mountain terrains.
Swertia macrosperma
Swertia macrosperma
Swertia macrosperma is a perennial herb that thrives in alpine habitats. It brandishes erect stems and lanceolate leaves that add to its slender profile. Its distinctive large seeds reveal its identity, while its broadly bell-shaped, violet-blue flowers bloom as a testament to its resilience in thin mountain air and rocky soils. These adaptive features allow swertia macrosperma to not only survive but stand out in the high elevation's harsh conditions.
Swertia iberica
Swertia iberica
Swertia iberica is a robust herbaceous perennial with striking star-shaped, deep blue to violet flowers. It typically flourishes in high-altitude rocky terrains, where its lengthy roots anchor into sparse soil, drawing nutrients. Its elongated leaves arrange oppositely on stems, creating a lush green contrast against barren landscapes. This adaptability to harsh conditions underscores swertia iberica's resilience and beauty.

Dracaena
Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Ficus
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Rubus
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Acer
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Solanum
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Rosa
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Quercus
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
